Hi all,
Following some great advice I got in this forum about potential routes out of my carebear life, I joined RvB and have had some fun and plenty of learning experiences - there are some great people there with a will to share their knowledge and I have no wish to return to mission running. I'm not entirely sure that large fleet PvP will be my thing but from what I've read, I'm curiously drawn to the idea of flying 'dictors, with all that entails. It seems like a role that's valuable to nul-sec fleets of any size and something that can make a material difference to outcomes.
I'd appreciate your thoughts on going down the path of being the guy who pilots the 'flying coffin' and ensares the enemy in their bubbles (both for and against). I've read the 'Eve Altruist' material and I think it sounds like it could be for me - I'm happy to let others apply the DPS.
Cheers! Benthos Thellere. |

If you train a dictor, train a sabre that thing is a beast ...
There are a few types of dictors a cloaked dictor, mainly used in WH's to quickly align & warp to targets with the intention of staying alive long enough for the rest of the fleet to land on grid. Then you have the frigate killer dictor that isn't really a dictor with a bubble but a trasher in steroids. And then we finally have the linchpin of the fleet that puts up the bubbles at gates and takes it like a man.
Hictors are a completely different beast in both size and the way they function when bubble's up. |

Dictors are a blast! Sabres are my fave as well: http://failheap-challenge.com/showthread.php?16825-TMA-Life-Inside-the-Bubble-How-to-solo-camp-with-a-Sabre

I can fly an eris but as I hate flying frigs and dessies (personal thing) all I can do is parrot what a lot in my corp say, and that's dictors are not only fun but an essential ingredient to an effective nullsec/wormhole gang. |

Aye, this might be the thing. Interesting. |

I think that's the role I need. Not to make up numbers, but to be truly useful! |

I can't begin to tell you the number of times our corp as lamented not having a bubbler while roaming nullsec. I really should put my eris skills to use, but I just love flying lokis and logis way too much |

+ Tears are the best. There is nothing better than killing a dude who has just spent last thirty minutes travelling somewhere and you pod him back to the place he started thirty minutes ago. And after committing this terrible murder he starts asking reasons why you did it. Some dudes will threaten to petition you for harassment. You can just laugh.
Sounds like it's right up my street. Shall read with interest. |

Look into both interdictors and heavy interdictors.
Both have broadly the same role - preventing hostiles from fleeing an engagement - but achieve it in quite different ways.

Death. Lot's of it. You will be alpha'ed off the field a lot. My suggestion is be really good at bouncing pings and making pings while flying in a fight. The reason I say that is you will need to warp a lot from one ping to another . Mainly to get a good bubble on the enemy fleet and rewarp getting yourself off the field before you die. |

Excuse my ignorance - by 'ping' do you mean bookmark? |
